Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. lands on Sergio Martinez

By Johnny Benz, Doghouse Boxing. - With my hard earned money, I paid good dollar to watch the boxing match that featured Sergio Martinez's UD win over Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., on HBO-PPV. (The fight of course happened on Saturday at the Thomas and Mack Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.) I paid a little more because I watched it in HD (HDTV streaming costs a little more than a regular pay-per-view). Hey, I live on a tight-rope budget, and I have to say for once in such a long time, I really got my monies worth. I felt for a change, I wasn't ripped off. I enjoyed the fight that much. Even before the epic 12th round, I had already come to the conclusion that I was absolutely loving the fight in front of my eyes.

Talking about money, how much did the two fighter's make for their valiant efforts? It is being reported that Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. ranked in $3 million and Sergio Martinez took in $1.4 million. Now keep in mind that these numbers are expected to increase with bonuses from PPV sales.

Hey, that is decent money and I hope they do a rematch and both are paid even more (especially Martinez... his next pay for the rematch should be on par with Chavez's.) Look, bottom line is I work hard for my money... on Saturday both Chavez and Martinez did the same... they worked it hard for their money and they treated me and my thin wallet well in doing so.

So this begs the question... Will I buy the rematch?! Oh you better damn believe I will!
